  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    Downer story does match its book source, for the most part. Great cast.

  • Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

    I didn't wanna like it. But by movie's end, I didn't hate it. Points for that.

  • Blake Davis, KFOR Channel 4 News

    A uniquely awful vanity piece.

    Oh my God, the worst cinema experience in my life. Was dragged, with a mate, by my ex to see this and it was long and so very, very painful.

    Does a marriage of convenience work? A marriage with no sex? I preferred Jeff Bridges' acting over Barbra Streisand's.

  • Alec B


    I don't think a single moment of this movie made any sense. Its also poorly edited and just about everyone (including even Jeff Bridges) is unconvincing in their perspective roles.

  • Sunil J


    A solid romantic comedy that gets a lttle eh in the middle but is pretty charming and actually has a really strong cast as well as a clever script.
